Literally on the rocks

No, I'm not a shill for Think Geek, but I thought y'all might enjoy the blurb from their site, and maybe even the idea of putting frozen rocks in your glass (big grin).

Here's the blurb:

=================

Lukewarm is the enemy

Okay, water is awesome. We can’t deny that. And perhaps its best feature is that it can freeze (You know that "ice" stuff? That's made of water!). And not to mention that when frozen, it’s practically perfect for warm beverages.

But wait, there's a catch!

If the temperature doesn’t stay below freezing, then the hard water starts to melt and your drink becomes all watery and doesn't taste good anymore. It's all very scientific stuff. You wouldn’t understand.

Luckily, a few great soapstone workers in Perkinsville, Vermont have created Whiskey Stones. These little ice-imitators are specially designed to put a slight chill in your Whiskey. All you do is put them in the freezer for a few hours and then pop a couple into a glass of single malt. Once you're done, rinse, dry and do it all over again! And no need to worry about a watery drink, because these stones don't dilute (that’s the best part). Dylan Thomas would've loved these things. We hope you will too.

The Scott's use literally chilled rocks in scotch.
